Emperor Shennong Yan took the pearl and twine handed over by the immortal, and then after a little thought, he came up with a solution.

Shennong caught a small ant, then tied the twine to the little ant's feet and placed the little ant at the mouth of the pearl's hole.

Finally, Emperor Shennong Yan blew at the little ant at the entrance of the cave, and the little ant crawled into the cave, and it didn't take long for the little ant to crawl out from the other end with twine.

Seeing that Emperor Shennong Yan had successfully passed the twine through the small hole, the white-bearded immortal was overjoyed, and said to Shennong with a smile: "Young man, this incident is enough to show that you are very smart, and you have successfully passed my test. I believe that with your ability, you can steal the grain from heaven. However, I still want to warn you that the gods who protect the grain seeds in the sky are fierce and cunning, and you must be careful not to fall for them. ”

As he spoke, the white-bearded immortal handed Shennong a divine robe, which could make Shennong fly into the sky faster.

Shennong took the divine clothes handed over by the immortals, and then said gratefully: "Immortals, thank you for your guidance, I have memorized your words!"

After that, Emperor Shennong Yan put on his divine clothes, flew into the sky with a "whew", and soon saw the god of ceres.

Seeing the god of grains, Shennong did not hide it, so he directly explained his intention to the other party.

After listening to Shennong's words, the god of grains rolled his eyes, looked up and thought about it, and then said to Shennong with a smile: "Shennong, you think about human beings everywhere, which touches me very much, so I am willing to give you the grain seeds." But before you can give me the grain, you have to do two things for me. If these two things are done well, I will give you the grain seeds immediately, but if you don't do it well, then you can only resent yourself for not being able to do it!"

Shennong didn't think much about it, he immediately said to the god of grains: "God of Grains, I agree to the conditions you proposed, then please leave these two things to me immediately!"

The god of grains said, "Now that it is the season of sowing, but my sacred cow is sick, can you pull the plough instead of the sacred ox to plough this field?"

When Shennong heard this, he felt that it was just a trivial matter, so he immediately said to Gushen: "Gushen, there is no problem, don't worry, I will definitely complete this matter successfully." ”

So, in order to save time, Shennong immediately began to act, only to see him put a yoke on his shoulders and pull up the plow.

In the field, Shennong exerted all his strength and pulled forward with all his strength, and the rope was soon pulled into his shoulder, and the flesh was also worn out, but when he looked back, he found that the land was untouched.

Finding that Shennong looked back, the god of Ceres immediately showed his fierce face, waving a whip and raining down on Shennong.

Shennong didn't dare to complain about Ceres, so he gritted his teeth and continued to struggle forward, and it didn't take long for him to fall.

At this moment, the god of grain walked up to the ridge of the field far away to defecate, and Shennong saw it in his eyes, feeling a little strange and strange, and couldn't help but secretly think: "If the god of grain wants to defecate, any place on this land can be, why does he go far out of this land? Could it be that this dung has a wonderful relationship with the land? Yes, if nothing else, the mystery must be here." ”

Thinking of this, Shennong took advantage of Ceres' lack of attention, quickly got up from the ground, and then scattered the feces on the ground.

After spreading the manure, Shennong came to pull the plow again, and the land became much looser, so Shennong immediately pulled the plow hard.

This time it was very relaxed, the land that Shennong turned up was like a wave, and when the god of grains saw it, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he knew that the mystery must have been seen by Shennong - the land mixed with manure will become loose and easy to cultivate.

So, after Shennong completed the first thing that Ceres asked, Ceres proposed the second thing.

The second thing is to push a large smooth boulder up to the top of an equally smooth mountain.

Shennong still happily agreed, and in order to get the grain seeds as soon as possible, he immediately started to act.

When Shennong came to the boulder, he found that the boulder was huge and smooth, and the slope of the mountain was also steep and smooth, so he pushed the boulder to the top of the mountain with all his strength.

However, no sooner had the boulder risen than five feet before he slid back to his original place, and then remained motionless at the foot of the mountain.

Shennong was not discouraged and pushed up again, but when he pushed to the old place, he still slipped back to his original place, and finally stayed at the foot of the mountain without moving.

In this way, I pushed back and forth more than ten times, still pushing to the old place and sliding down again, and finally stayed at the foot of the mountain and remained motionless.

What's going on here?

Shennong felt more and more strange, so he simply stopped pushing big stones, but used his brains at the foot of the mountain.

After pondering and meditating, Shennong finally came up with a good idea, he dug a piece of land five feet high from the foot of the mountain, so that when the boulder was pushed here again, it would not slide down again, and Shennong's idea was obviously very effective.

So, with this experience, Shennong dug up a piece of land every five feet on the hillside, and finally he got his wish and pushed the big stone to the top of the mountain one by one.

Seeing that Shennong had completed the two things he asked for, and that he had spoken first, the god of grains had no choice but to hand over a handful of golden grain seeds to Shennong.

After Shennong retrieved the grain seeds, he was very happy, and after returning to the mortal world, he immediately reclaimed a wasteland and sowed the grain seeds into the ground.

After the grain seeds were sown, Shennong quietly waited for the grain seedlings to emerge and sprout, waiting for the grain seedlings to produce delicious seeds.

However, day by day, Shennong waited left and right and waited for no grain seedlings to appear, until half a month passed, there was still no sign of grain seedlings.

This time, Shennong was anxious, but he didn't know what the reason was, so he had to rush to Xianshan again to ask the white-bearded immortal for advice.

After listening to Shennong's story, the immortal sighed and said to Shennong: "Young man, you have been fooled! The seeds you got were steamed and boiled by the god of grain, and the real grain seeds were dried in the Tianping, and there were many heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the Tianping. ”

Hearing what the immortals said, Shennong was furious, and immediately bid farewell to the immortals, preparing to immediately go back to heaven to question the god of grains.

Seeing that Shennong was about to leave, the immortal hurriedly called him back and said to him: "Young man, you are too anxious, you must know the truth that if you want to hurry, you will not be able to reach it." So be it, I have a jewel here, and I'll give it to you now, and you can take it with you, and with it, your body can change at will. Good news waiting for you here for a long time!"

Shennong took the orb given to him by the immortal and expressed his gratitude, then said goodbye to the white-bearded immortal and flew into the sky again.

When Shennong flew outside the roof, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a very wide sunning lawn, and the sunning was really full of golden grains.

Seeing this, Shennong was very happy in his heart, he immediately turned into a sparrow, and then "fluttered" and flew to the sunning valley with a bang.

However, the heavenly soldiers and generals soon discovered the sparrows incarnated by Shennong, so they came together to catch up, and the sparrows had to hurriedly peck a grain seed and then fly away.

Shennong arrived at the grain seed as he wished, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, but he felt that there were too few grain seeds, and it was not easy to come to Tianping, so he planned to bring more back.

As a result, Shennong transformed into a tengu, this tengu is tall, with golden fur, a bulging waist, bright ears, a long red tongue, and a high tail, which looks very energetic.

Shennong's transformed Heavenly Dog took advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals did not pay attention, and quickly slipped into the sunning valley, and then rolled on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Dog was covered with grain seeds.

At this moment, the heavenly soldiers and generals also discovered the heavenly dog that had mixed into the Tianping, and even shouted: "Dog thief, where to escape!"

Then, the heavenly soldiers and generals besieged the heavenly dogs, and the heavenly dogs transformed by Shennong saw that the situation was not good, so they ran away.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals chased after the Heavenly Dogs, so in the process of escaping, the Heavenly Dogs turned their heads from time to time to show their sharp teeth and barked angrily at those Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals behind the Heavenly Dog heard the barking and saw the sharp teeth again, and couldn't help but tremble, and the pace of chasing slowed down.

However, as soon as the angry barking of the Heavenly Dog stopped, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals began to speed up their pace to catch up, seeing that they were getting closer and closer, the situation was very critical.

Later, the heavenly dog fled to the 800-mile-wide Tianhe River, that is, the Milky Way, and saw that the waves in the Milky Way were rolling, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the birds did not dare to fly, and the fish did not dare to swim.

At this moment, the Celestial Dog who fled to the edge of the galaxy also began to feel worried, but if he didn't continue to abscond, he would be caught by the Celestial Soldiers and Heavenly Generals behind him.

Thinking that the people of the mortal world urgently need these grains, and thinking that these grains are not easy to come by, where can the heavenly dog take care of the danger or not.

So, the tengu bit his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he jumped into the water, just raising his tail high.

In this way, almost all the faults on the upper and lower parts of the tengu body were floated away with the water, and only the little grain on the tail was retained.

Seeing that the Heavenly Dog had jumped into the Milky Way, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals knew that the Milky Way Water was fierce and terrifying, so they no longer continued to chase, but turned back to Tianping.

It is precisely because they are well aware of the horror of the Milky Way Water that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals expect that once this Heavenly Dog enters the Milky Way, it will definitely die.

However, after Shennong's incarnated tengu entered the Milky Way, the part that was submerged in the water turned into a fish, leaving only the previous dog's tail stained with grain.

Eventually, Shennong returned to the mortal world safely and brought the grain seeds to humans, and soon after, the grain seeds were sown in the ground.

In the autumn, these grains have a bumper harvest, and the mortals are grateful to Shennong Yandi for risking his life to take seeds, and the white-bearded immortals also came to Shennong's residence to congratulate and congratulate him.

Since then, there have been five grains in the world, and the ears of grain are all bunches, like the tail of a heavenly dog raised high, and the golden light is shining.
